Vast majority of today’s toilet used in Japan is western style, but it’s really “western style with a Japanese touch:

Japanese people are well-groomed in general, and their toilet habit is not an exception. In their usual technologically advanced style, their toilet has a computerized water jet cleaning system built right into toilet seat, like this:

After months of just thinking about it, the web site is finally up and running. YAY! Thank you for those who’ve been waiting for this moment. Yes, there *are* indeed a few people who’ve been wondering if this site is ever gonna show up at all. I told you it was coming. But yeah I know, I’ve been lazy. :-P

Well, since I am a computer guy I figure I better kick off the web site with a computer stuff. So, today’s topic is “Keyboard.”

As you might know, Japanese character looks like this:

So, what kind of strange keyboard do they use to type *that*? Well, here are two variations:

1) Macintosh keyboard
Keyboard - Macintosh

2) Windows keyboard
Keyboard - PC

They look similar to yours, except there are several special keys, and the position of some special characters is different.
